And another bad Wix filter!

[Chris142]

This one is for a 5.0 coyote in a 2018 f150. Obviously made by Purolator. Threads are wrong. Goes on 1/4 turn and won't thread any more. Next to the wix with round holes I took off.

I took another pic that shows the side and the same # but it didn't come out for some reason

You took the Wix off and couldnt get the Purolator on... But your title says the Wix is bad?

I'm glad my stock of wix is from 2020 they all are great. (bought 16)

I'm wondering if your supplier got some cheap online filters that are imitations.

I'll get a pic of it when I get to work. It's a rebadged purolater.

Unfortunately the common denominator here is Mann-Hummel. I love their European offerings but that junk they're making in Fayetteville and Gastonia is shameful.

Are you saying the Wix and Purolator are own by Mann-Hummel??

Yep. Between First Brands and M&H, they have the bulk of the oil filter business.

I have to laugh about this...All the outrage at the start of the year about Fram Ultra.

I'm actually running fram on my cars. They may be ugly but they don't tear and screw on like they are supposed to.

Not thrilled with First Brands either-the race to the bottom continues... Mann is now leading!

Yup, these new Purolator made Wix are no longer quality. Glad I have two cases of circa 2015 WIX that cross to Fram 4386 to use

OEM from the dealer is looking better and better these days… Instead of playing the filter Whac-A-Mole game.

Yeah, except I'm using Hyundai OEM filters on wife's Tucson....made by.....drum roll please...... M&H. I'm doomed! Just bought a case of them suckers.

Apples and oranges. The Hyun/Kia OEM spin on is made by Mann in S Korea. They are made to H/K specs by Mann and 'not' made by topic Wix a subsidiary of M&H. I've seen no complaints this subforum about H/K spin on OFs 'construction'. So, the sky is not falling for H/K OEM OF users.

As for topic, strikes me that with all the thread starters, if things are as bad as implied the OP and/or employer should find a new OF supplier. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

True. However there is a standard required by the manufacturer which should be held. Hyundai is able (not saying they will, but they are able) to hold their vendor accountable to the contracted specifications with M&H across all products vs Joe Bob oil change guys calling the M&H hotline to complain about one filter.

Avoid Hyundai in the future. They have so many issues !

Great point. Thank you.
